Re: "Shutter Island" and "Inception"
I have seen Shutter Island, but not Inception.

I can see parallels along the lines you put forth.

In keeping with that line, I ask then, how do you fit the other force in the movie that is fully aware of his pain, and exploits it to manipulate the male character?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17006327


Although now that I really think about it, in Shutter Island what he percieved as sinister forces ended up being people trying to help him "wake up" so to speak. Maybe WE are Leonardo DiCaprio's character, and the doctors etc are Christos/The Source trying to free us?
 Quoting: theorigionalzombiekiller


Dude, you've got Shutter Island all wrong. SHutter island was about MK ultra and project paperclip. The doctors weren't trying to help free him, quite teh opposite. Damn son, might want to take another look.

Read the book (Shutter Island, at least). The ending was really really disjointed.

One thing though, even though MK-Ultra etc. is absolutly a thing, I get the impression it is mostly used as a means to an end. It is a tool for TPTB, one of many, but not the reason they exist, nor does it represent their goals.

Sometimes it is too easy to just chalk this stuff up to "Oh, there is the butterfly, so MIND CONTROL" and stop there. This is one reason I don't give VC much credit anymore, because his interpretation usually stops at just that point.

There are deep esoteric motivations behind TPTB and what they present to us, and not all of it even represents the same uniform agenda.

Re: "Shutter Island" and "Inception"
I think it's clear that the guys delusions in Shutter Island were very real. The ending of the film with their so neatly wrapping it up should make it obvious. It's got a "move along, nothing to see here" kinda vibe.

At the same time though, why wouldn't they have just shot him?

Re: "Shutter Island" and "Inception"

I'm starting to make a connection between the concept of the Aeonic creator twin's(Christos and Sophia) seperation and grief, and the fractured/suffering mind of the male twin, and movies like Shutter Island or Inception.

Both have a male character who became somehow seperated from his female counterpart, and has children who have suffered/died because of this. In Shutter Island, he ultimatly chooses not to remember who he really is because the pain is too much to bear, and in Inception he is "cured", but might actually have just fallen into another level of his mind.

Are stories such as this retellings of the grand cosmic tragedy we have all been witness to?

Re: "Shutter Island" and "Inception"
It is not a question... The movie was about mk ultra and paper clip, research project paper clip (which took place right after ww2, then watch again, it couldn't be more obvious. )Stop being amateurs, your on glp for god sake. The symbolism is all there. The doctor has a statue with satanic horns on his desk in the film, not to mention the pentagram and baphomet symbols in the ward scene... Seriously, it's not even a question... Rematch guys.

And to retort, no it's not that easy, hence why you, yourself had the interpretation wrong until it was explained to you and light was shed on the truth of story. Most watch this and think the main character wd insane.... But if you watch with eyes to see and ears to hear.. It's clearly the opposite.

So what was the subtext of his interaction(or lack of, his overcomitment to his work lead to her mental illness escalating) with his wife and the resulting death of the children? And him shooting her? What did that specifically have to do with MK-Ultra?
